Traffic Trend Reports
The Traffic Trend Reports section includes reports that show trends in the amount of
traffic generated across the firewall. Traffic trends help in understanding peak usage
times, enforcing better security policies, and planning for effective bandwidth upgrades.
In a large enterprise with several firewalls, traffic trends can also help the network
administrator to distribute the traffic load between firewalls to reduce response times
and thereby enable better quality of service.
On the top right side of the Report screen, there will be a drop down menu.
